Chapter 37: Parents Buying Peanuts (Asking for Votes)
The old couple looked at each other again, as if they understood something.
It turned out that Chen Yang's kid said such things to Jiajia, which is why this kid is so abnormal.
is also, she doesn't stop talking, she loves to listen to her brother Chen Yang's words.
The fourth grandmother smiled: "Okay, okay, grandma is wrong, tomorrow grandma sells mountain pepper, so I'll take you shopping to buy new clothes, okay?"
Jiajia continued to wave the broom: "I'm not going, I'm going to help my brother pull peanuts tomorrow." ”
She thought that although she didn't have much strength, she could help a little bit, and maybe her brother could really finish pulling peanuts a day earlier because of her help.
In that way, Xiao Qian will be able to suffer one less day of sin.
Although Xiao Qian doesn't have to work, he is still so young, he should stay in a comfortable house like other little dolls in the village, not in the sun.
Because, the current autumn tiger is really fierce and poisonous.
Chen Yang also thinks the same, he also wants to finish the work early, go to bed early, and then get up early tomorrow, go to sell peanuts early, then finish selling peanuts early, and go home early to pull peanuts.
So, in the wee hours of the morning, he got up at two o'clock.
Because Jiajia helped yesterday, he pulled out nearly seventy or eighty catties of peanuts. After boiling the peanuts, I came to the school gate early.
At this time, it was only six o'clock, the sky was slightly bright, and only a few students were riding bicycles from outside to the school slowly.
In addition to Chen Yang, the vendor at the school gate only arrived early.
The uncle is in his fifties, not tall, not fat, and his skin is not white. A black hair mixed with silver threads, a thin face full of wrinkles, very vicissitudes.
While grabbing the corn from the snakeskin bag into the large aluminum pot with two ears on the coal stove, he shouted to Chen Yang: "Xiaoyang, why didn't you come yesterday? You don't know, many students have been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Chen Yang weighed peanuts in disposable white plastic bags and replied, "That's really embarrassing." The day before yesterday, my grandfather fainted from heat stroke and hung up in the hospital for most of the day, and I was responsible for taking care of him, so I didn't pull out peanuts. ”
"Yo, then your grandfather is okay now. The uncle stopped what he was doing, looked at Chen Yang with a frown, and said, "The old man is old, let him work less in the field, we are young, let's just do more, don't you say?"
Chen Yang nodded with a smile: "The truth is such a truth, but he is not my own grandfather, just my grandfather's brother, so I am not qualified to let him not work in the field, at most I can only persuade him on the side." And my fourth grandfather's temper doesn't listen to the persuasion of others. ”
"I see. The uncle's brows relaxed, and the smile hung on his face again, "There are not many filial people like you now." As soon as I look at you, I know that you have a good heart. ”
Uncle's words made Chen Yang straightforward: "What you mean by this is that I look honest." ”
The uncle laughed, did not deny it, and continued to cook corn.
On Chen Yang's side, customers have been ushered in one after another.
Because these customers are only students, they basically buy peanuts one by one, and if anyone buys several catties at once, it may be for the students who live on campus.
"Five dollars a pound of peanuts, isn't it? "There is humanity.
"Yes, yes, yes. Chen Yang replied, while feeling that something was wrong, why was this classmate's voice so rough?
He looked up at the figure standing in front of the large aluminum pot and was stunned.
A tall man of about forty years old was staring at the peanuts in the pot with a beer belly on his head.
"Can you try these peanuts?" asked the big man, pointing to the aluminum pot.
Chen Yang hurriedly grabbed a handful of peanuts from the pot and handed them to Dahan: "Of course you can, come, big brother, taste it." ”
The big man happily took the peanut and immediately peeled it.
Although peanuts can be squeezed for oil, these saltwater peanuts are not greasy at all. Moreover, the coolness of the mint leaves has completely penetrated into the peanut kernels after a long time of soaking and boiling, which is really delicious.
In addition, the fragrance of star anise cinnamon bark and the clean and clear mountain spring water make the peanuts salty and delicious.
The big man ate happily, so he threw out a fat hand to stop Chen Yang from weighing the peanuts: "Wait, little brother, add five catties, I want ten catties of peanuts." ”
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he smiled and put a large bag of peanuts in the bag, and then weighed them together.
He asked as he spoke, "Big brother, are you a teacher at this school?"
Dahan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do you think I look like a teacher? I am a parent of a student, and I send my child to school." The day before yesterday, I saw an article on the school's official account, writing about a single dad selling peanuts at the school gate, which should be you. ”
Chen Yang remembered his agreement with the little girl, and couldn't help but pat his head: "Oh, yes, it's me, if you don't say it, I'll forget about it." ”
The day before yesterday, I promised the little girl to leave her a pound of peanuts every morning, but he disappeared the next day, and I don't know what the little girl will think of him.
He looked around, but he didn't see the little girl.
Dahan paid 50 yuan on WeChat, picked up the peanuts, and said: "Don't say it, the taste of your peanuts is the same as what is written in the article, not only delicious, but also not greasy, very refreshing, no wonder the students are full of praise." ”
Actually, he didn't know if the students were full of praise, but he did think that this peanut was delicious. Moreover, he also felt that saying this might give this single dad who sold peanuts with a baby a little confidence and let him persevere in the difficult days.
People, sometimes it's just so kind.
The words of the fat brother made Chen Yang's heart inexplicably touched.
He never thought of himself as a good person, but he didn't know why, since the accident at home, he could always meet a lot of good people anytime and anywhere.
Maybe it's because he fell to the bottom, so any bit of brilliance seems to him to be precious.
He stared at the back of the fat big brother who was gone away in the morning, and remembered the feeling of this moment firmly in his heart. He hopes that no matter what he becomes in the future, he can always maintain this mentality-
I will be touched by a little kindness from others, and I will be grateful for the help of others.
For example, the aunt who sells bread helped him, but he hasn't seen his aunt come to set up a stall at this time, so he is a little anxious.
He wants to keep this grateful heart alive.
The aunt who sells bread is indeed late today.
By the time she saw the cart and stall cart in Chen Yang's sight, it was almost seven o'clock. At this time, Chen Yang's saltwater peanuts were almost sold out.
"Auntie, why are you late today?" Chen Yang stepped forward to greet Auntie and helped push the slightly heavy stall cart to the original selling position.
Auntie smiled: "Look at this day, isn't it a little dark, I was worried that it would rain later, so I put away the clothes at home first, and closed the doors and windows tightly before coming out." ”
Hearing this, Chen Yang looked up at the sky.
But no, the scorching sun, which had been scorching for a long time, was noticeably softer this morning, and a few dark gray clouds with faint gold edges floated on the side.
Farther in the sky, you can only faintly see some blue that is unwilling to be buried, showing a little bit of color from the vagaries of the clouds.
"Yes, how can you say that change will change this day?" Chen Yang was a little worried.
He was not worried about his family's crops or house, but worried that if it rained, it would definitely affect his aunt's business.
Judging from the weight of Auntie's small stall, she should have prepared a lot of bread today. If it does rain, it is estimated that her business will be affected.
Chen Yang asked, "Auntie, will the rain affect your business?"
